HAIRPIN-PACKAGE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Sept. 20, 1921.

Application filed August 21, 1919. Serial No. 818,945.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it'known that I, JINnI'cIcH WALDES, a citizen of the Czecho-Slovak Republic, residing at Prague, in Bohemia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Hairpin-Package, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to a paper package especially applicable for hair pins, and has for its object to provide a package of this.

folded over the back to overlap the flap,

after whichthe edges or sides are doubled upon themselves and bent over the back of the package to seal the package. Tabs are preferably provided at the flap end of the blank to insure of the ends being securely closed.

The invention may be more fully eX- plained in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 represents a plan of the blank before it is folded, the hair pins having first been placed thereon.

Fig. 2 shows a plan of the blank with the flap folded in.

Fig. 3 shows the package after the front has been folded over the back and the tabs at the end of the blank turned in over the sides. 7 V

Fig. 4 shows a front plan of the completed package.

Fig. 5 Fig. 4 with the flap withdrawn to showhow the package may be opened for inspection of the contents without the package being unfolded.

Fig. 6 represents a view partly in section and partly in elevation on the line 6-6 of Fig. 4. V

represents the package shown in In the drawings, in which the lines of creasing are indicated by dot and. dash lines,

A represents a blank having the back porfront and back of each end of the blank are side portions 8, these side portions preferably extending beyond the tab end of the blank to form ears 9. The hair pins are indicated at 10.

In forming the package, the hair pins 10 are laid on the back portion 5 of the blank A, as indicated in Fig. 1, after which the tab 6 is lapped over, as shown in Fig. 2, the tab folding, as indicated, along the dot and dash line. The front 7 is then folded over the back, overlapping the tab and doubling the side portions 8 upon themselves longitudinally of the package, after which the ears 9 are bent over to hold the front and back together,as shown in Fig. 3. The next operation is to fold the sides 8, including the ears 9, rearwardly over the back of the package, after which they are folded transversely upon themselves, as shown in the end view and section in Fig. 6. By bending the sides over the back, the package is well sealed, but access may always be had to the flap 6 whereby the package may be opened for inspection without otherwise unfolding it, as shown in Fig. 5.

I claim as my invention:

A package for hair pins, comprising an integral sheet divided into back, front and side portions and having a flap extending from one end of the back portion, and ears extending from the ends of the side portions, the flap belng turned inward upon the back portion and the front portion being folded over upon the back portion and upon the flap; the sides of the sheet being doubled upon themselves longitudinally and folded transversely over upon the rear portion of the package while the ears are turned 7 over upon the upper portions of thesides.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name; I v
